Make Simple Classic Ring Designs: A Silversmithing Tutorial

This tutorial shows how to make 3 different simple classic silver ring designs. These are beginner level projects. For materials, I used 18 (1.02 mm) and 20 (.79 mm) gauge sterling round wire, 16 (1.3 mm)and 12 (2.01 mm) gauge sterling square wire, 8 gauge (3.25 mm) sterling half round wire, and 26 gauge (.41 mm) sterling sheet. As always, I use hard silver sheet solder and My-T-Flux.

Wonderful! Now I gotta try these. I was doing everything the hard way (way above my skill level), and you showed me how to do it right - correctly, and not-so-difficult. Thanks, Chad!

[@chadssilversmithing]

Sure Sean! Glad you found it useful:)

[@sandyphipps9725]

You are a very good Tudor. Thank you for your time and the great ideas. xx

[@chadssilversmithing]

Thanks Sandy! What a nice thing to say:)

[@ceciliam7144]

Lovely rings, awesome look after polishing! Thanks for this tutorial ❤

[@chadssilversmithing]

Thanks Cecilia. Glad you liked it:)

[@socialjusticejewelry]

Love this caduseus shaped ring. And since you asked its pronounced - kuh·doo·see·uhs.

[@chadssilversmithing]

Thank you SocialJusticeJewelry for both the nice comment and the pronunciation help:)

[@kimlyons8550]

These are great. I especially liked how you bent the solder over the edge on the second (?) ring.

[@chadssilversmithing]

Thanks Kim!

[@Sadiejewelrydesign838]

Hey Chad. I fell off for a while. So I have lots of videos to catch up on. All 3 rings are really nice but my fav would be the one with the rope detail. Thinking about making similar for my husband. Great vid as usual!

[@chadssilversmithing]

Thanks Andrea! I like that one too:). Welcome back!

[@bojicasin]

I like the infinity ring best

[@chadssilversmithing]

I like that one too, but I think my fave is the one with the rope down the middle:)

[@bojicasin]

@@chadssilversmithing that one's cool too.

[@lishal1625]

💜💜💜💜

[@chadssilversmithing]

Thanks Lishal!

[@karlajakeman3310]

Love all 3. Can u post a pic of the 3rd after oxidation? Awesomeness Chad!!!

[@chadssilversmithing]

Thanks Karla. I’ll try to do that later today over on Discord:)

[@bjones4097]

Enjoyed this video Chad. The designs are nice and the rings turned out lovely. Great instruction as always. Thank You! Just curious, what is the thickness of the solder you use?

[@chadssilversmithing]

Thanks Bill. It comes as 30 gauge which is .25 mm I think.

[@Gazz_R]

Hard pushed to pick a fave but, the one with the twisted wire just about pips it. Fantastic work as always Chad and thanks for sharing.

[@chadssilversmithing]

I like that one best as well. Thanks Gazz!
